or Call to Order

The Athos 12 table by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia boasts a stun­ning wood grain design that cascades over the thick wooden table­top. This distinc­tive visual feature is accom­plished through an intri­cate milling process that ensures the grain’s consis­tency and preci­sion across the table’s entire surface. The Athos 12 comes in differ­ent base and top finishes and is avail­able in various sizes, includ­ing fixed and extend­able versions. The extend­able variant has a concealed mech­a­nism on the under­side that expands the table by two linear feet.
